The Goat Pen

"The problem with quotes on the Internet is that it is hard to verify their authenticity"
— Abraham Lincoln"

Not to be picky, but Lincoln didn't capitalize 'Internet'--if you're going to quote him on authenticity at least quote him authentically.

I'm in favor of a playoff, but this is the type of year where a playoff will be a disservice. We always say teams should 'earn it on the field', but the fact of the matter is this year no team has earned the right to play LSU for a post-season title, and the regular season is going to be massively d...

It pains me to have to post this, maybe it's been posted before and summarily dealt with. If not, in spite of all reason we may have to move the croc over the housecat into second place behind the mighty bear:

Chuck, Popeye was many PGs and two NCs ago--if I were to post a cartoon of our PG today it would be more like the Pink Panther.

That was never a rule! I hate to be ugly, but I think you made that up.

Well, I missed all that! But Rat never did anything to drive me off the boards, that I do know. But maybe Floater thought that for some reason.

Well, it's your forum, but it's going to be hard to break into the big time with Mary Poppins at quarterback!

Well, I hate to say it, but he did seem to have some demons and I can see that something like that could happen. He didn't seem to think life had given him a very fair shake, and he was probably right.

No more than the normal give and take--not that I remember, anyhow. I remember being pissed off at you a couple of times, but it was a normal Goat Pen pissed off, nothing serious.

I wonder what it was? I hate that he left over something that must have been a misunderstanding.

You know, it's not a good advert that Mook is still the SSG. I can't believe you couldn't have done something about that in all this time!

And seriously just disappeared? Was it a Goat Pen thing or something serious? Does anybody know where he is or if he's ok? I always kind of liked him--he seemed like a good guy with some demons sometimes. I remember when he put peanut butter in the hard drive at work! When he got upset about somethi...

Is Floater still around?

Augie, you'd enjoy IC right now--they're in total meltdown mode!

Why no choice of Otter in the mascot wars? I'd have thought the croc would have been replaced by the otter by now.

Oh, I'll check in, and I still read a lot. The Goat Pen came up on IC and a couple of us tried to pump you guys up, so maybe you'll be seeing some new guys. The Goat Pen is unique because it's had such a tight group of guys for so long--and most of us have even met each other from time to time. Ther...

DS, I'll tell Andrew you said hi. What are you doing now? Last I remember--I think--you were in law school at South Carolina, but I assume you're through that now. AA, thanks! I'm working at Patuxent River, south of DC as a contract specialist. It's a pretty good job and I'll probably just hang out ...

DS, here's the picture of Andrew--he's crying like a baby there! Of course, he'd been gone 7 months so they'd grown up some! He flies the E-2, you see one in the background.

Well, I don't know if I went up or down when the world ended, but whicever way I went it's not a whole lot different than Maryland.

Well, when I put it that way it's pretty obvious I went down. But it must be just purgatory because it's not as bad as Ohio.

I guess I have this place to myself now.
